Elevated expression of MMP8 and MMP9 contributes to diabetic osteoarthritis progression in a rat model
19 Jan 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Knowledge regarding the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) is very limited. Previous studies have shown that matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 8 and MMP9 were upregulated in patients with diabetic OA. However, their regulatory functions and mechanisms in diabetic OA are not fully understood. METHODS: Diabetic OA rats were constructed using a high-fat diet combined with streptozotocin (STZ) induction....
